We're home!! Being gone from May 29th-June 17th is really something, especially for our family since we don't travel much. I am completely overwhelmed by the thought of trying to get caught up on posting and reading blogs, and don't even know when I'll be able to do so because I'm leaving again in 15 hours ($#@!) for our 2nd annual Girl's Getaway Weekend to celebrate my mom's birthday. (Who's life am I living right now because it doesn't feel like mine?!)
I'm happy, weary, hungry, and delighted by the clean house, pile of good mail, the welcome home pie (from Michelle of course), and cups of Sonic ice I found waiting for me! Woohoo!

I would eat the pie, read my mail, enjoy the ice, and get ready for my next trip. Enjoy this summer of travel.
Yes, I have taken a 3 week trip before. It takes awhile to get back into the swing at home, but it is worth the being out of sorts.
Enjoy every minute-especially a girls trip. Wow!
Welcome back!
We just returned from 13 days and surprisingly I feel mostly back to normal.... maybe because the mail hasn't been delivered yet.... it won't be "good mail" so I am not looking forward to that project.
I'm glad you guys had a good time... I hope this weekend is great too.
Welcome home--at least for the moment...So great that you had such a bevy of delights upon your return!
I always love getting home after a long trip...I've never been away for longer than 2 weeks. 3 weeks is a LONG time!
Have a great weekend!
wow - soak it all up and enjoy all the good stuff!
Even though I am not a homebody, I would want to stay home and equalize a bit! Can't wait to hear all about everything when you do get back!
I have never taken a three-week trip before! I hope you take/have a moment to catch your breath before jaunting out again.
3 week trip!!! wow-
I would YES EAT the PIE!! how wonderful to come home to all of that :)
I meant to send you good mail, but those three weeks went really fast for me???
WELcoME hoME
How thoughtful of someone to bring you a welcome home pie! I hate coming home after a trip and having nothing fresh to eat in the house. I would have gone straight to the computer. . . then started laundry for the next trip. I hope it's more fun than exhausting!
You're leaving us again? You are going to have a lot of posting to do when you get back, Miss!
Thanks for your sweet email. We are going to the beach for the weekend to celebrate me growing older.
Welcome home!
I'm tired just thinking about it!
I don't think I've ever been gone for 3 weeks before. The readjustment to regular life would seem daunting, so maybe it's for the best that you have a girls' weekend now...
I'm glad you had pebble ice waiting for you and that we could come over today for a brief reconnect!
Welcome home!
Eat the pie while reading your good mail, toss in a load of laundry and pack for your getaway and then relax with your ice and read blogs :)
P.S. I had my baby this week--that about sums up my blog for the last few days!
Have fun on your girls' retreat...
Can't wait to hear about it all! Even the pie.
I've never been away from home for 3 weeks at a time, only 2. The first thing that always gets done is laundry. I've got clothes in the washing machine before you know it!
How exciting for you to be on the go so much lately. It will sure make the summer go by quickly though. Being gone so much is cutting into your weekly waterpark days...and our reading pleasure! You've sure been missed!
Welcome home and have a wonderful girls weekend!
I saw Michelle's van when I passed your house and wondered if you were home- I couldn't remember the actual dates of your trip.
I think Michelle should count living in Paris as being gone for more than three weeks! There is a lot of life to catch up on even if you have internet and a kitchen.
Enjoy your weekend. Hope it is a nice break from kids after traveling with them for three weeks!
What a great friend in Michelle! I would eat that pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Yum! I must say - I have never had a welcome home pie - that sounds mighty fine at this moment...
Always a bonus to come home to a clean house (a must in my book!)
I use to take three week vacations when we lived in Florida and had to split our time in two different states with grandparents. Sad thing is - we would only be able to fly home every other year - that those three weeks flew by when they came...
Hope you had fun at your Girl's getaway!
Welcome Home Jill (even if it's short lived and you're out again). I can't wait to see your creative, funny, photo filled recaps. You are such a great blogger. FIRST, I would eat that pie!!
eat the pie!!!!!
Hey, I am comming over for a three week vacation....soon??????Don't get scared! I am just testing the H2O.s....hehehehehehhehehee
Have a fantastic time with the girls...how exciting. I love those the best!
Welcome home!
I get overwhelmed easily when I return, because it always means that real life begins once again, or in other words,responsibility!
i.e. payroll this week, staffing issues, mail sorting, unpacking, washing, car cleaining, birthdays looming, lessons to prepare, appointments that have been booked, calendar clashes....well, that should be enough to get the feel of my overwhelm!
Sounds like you had a great welcome home treat waiting, and that alone could sooth the blunt reality!
I hope you ate the pie first!! Michelle is such a great friend :o)
that pie would be a mighty nice thing to come home to. mmm. i hope you ate most of it yourself!
